I guess that is the case. But Bernie is not an extreme that is comparable to Trump. And by that I mean that he does not call the media the enemy of the people, or claim the presidency allows him to do whatever he wants, that his opponents ought to be locked up, that accepting foreign election aid is normal and the FBI director is wrong, or put his son-in-law in governemnt, allow said son-in-law to extort Qatar to buy a scyscraper from him, or claim that the other party is into killing new born babies, ot that his opponent is anti-God, or that elections he loses are definitely rigged, that someone needs to do something against that and that he loves the people who try to kill his VP, that you can cut off approved military aid unless that country produces dirt against his oppnoents, or that he fell in love with a brutal dictator, or that Putin is to believed over his own intelligence, or that his opponents are MS13-lovers, or that corona will magically disappear, or that hydroxychloroquine is a legit treatment, or that medical staffers steal masks, or that investigating him or his buddies is treason, or that he likes QAnon for liking him.... and so on and so on.

Which you kinda dismiss of being "clownish", but which is actually extremism, propaganda and dangerous lies. I strongly advocate not to tie Bernie Sanders to all that.
